    The team conducted an experiment to test how 8 different surfaces affect the bounce of a standard bouncy ball. They dropped the ball from the same height onto each surface and recorded the rebound height over 3 trials, calculating the average. Their prediction of surface bounce ability did not match the actual results. The standard printer paper produced the highest bounce at 42 cm on average, while cardboard produced the lowest at 26.67 cm. The type of surface impacts bounce height based on how much kinetic energy it absorbs from the ball upon impact.

    Research Extension
    How does the type of surface affect the bouncy ball’s bounce?

    Surfaces absorb different amounts of mechanical energy


    when the bouncy ball lands on them. Therefore, the return
    height of the ball is directly dependent on how much of its
    energy the surface absorbs.
